Is selling on the classifieds becoming more difficult?

50K feels a bit steep for an older bike, but she is pretty!

Yesterday I posted 8 items for sale on the classifieds here. 5 of those 8 have sold at my asking price already - which was not stupidly low, but I didn't overvalue my items either. 

 

Second hand market it pumping at the moment....

I also find a bit before work starts and a little into lunch works well

yes. Weekends its the wine, early morning it's the pre-work escapism blues, lunch it's the low blood sugar.

Interesting to hear your take. It's always difficult for us to gauge what's happening on other platforms.

 

From our point of view, we're super happy with the liquidity on the Classifieds this year.

 

The number of adverts placed has been very healthy. While on the flip side of the marketplace, the average life-time of adverts has never been lower, which indicates that for the most part they are selling quickly.

 

So by our measures at least, we believe that it is a highly effective option for selling cycling gear.

Except for that one dude trying to sell the 29'er chromo, QR, v-brake straight steerer fork ......... can someone just buy that damned thing already!

It has a sibling!

Based on the stories from the seller on that other thread bitching about the classifieds, this might be for sale for longer than the historic steel fork siblings:

That looks like Eugène Christophe's fork!

The guy that stopped to repair his fork at a local village blacksmith so he could finish the 1913 Tour

That would be a knuckle-dragging leach to be 100% correct.

How long is a piece of string? 

What kind of string? What colour is the string? How thick is the string? 

See what I did there?
